Center Valley, PA (October 16, 2015) - The DeSales University Field Hockey team will take part in a day long salute to cancer awareness on Saturday when the Bulldogs host Misericordia in a MAC Freedom game beginning at 1:00 pm.

The National Foundation for Cancer Research's (NFRC) Play4TheCure program raises funds in support of cancer research through sporting events nationwide. This Saturday the Bulldogs are joining hundreds of other teams across the nation to Play4TheCure and raise funds for cancer research.

DSU has decided to dedicate our game to breast cancer awareness and will be wearing PINK to honor family and friends affected by cancer. In order to maximize our impact, we encourage fans and spectators to wear PINK with us and stop by our table outside the turf field to make a donation, big or small. We will be selling a limited number of PINK #DSUNIT T-shirts for $10 as well as small ribbon pins for $1.

Please know that 100 percent of the funds raised will go directly to support Play4TheCure and the NFRC. All donations are tax deductible and benefit the cancer research efforts of the National Foundation for Cancer Research, a national 501(c)(3) with Tax ID # 04-2531031. You can find more information on Play4TheCure and the National Foundation for Cancer Research at the NFCR website.
